Iron Dynasty

Chapter 547: Firepower

"Boom boom..."

There was a series of fire and white smoke on the battleship. After a burst of gunfire, several screams suddenly came from the wall of Pengzhou.

Lu Fei had been observing the city wall, and said regretfully: "I almost hit it, hey, it's just a few soldiers who died. Hurry up and reload."

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately took out Miner bombs and gunpowder to reload.

They have been training since Xiao Ming sent these muskets to Qingzhou Camp. Compared with the previous muskets, the range and accuracy of these muskets have improved a lot.

But despite this, the hit rate for shooting a target from a hundred meters away is still very low, which is why Lu Fei requires 60 simultaneous shooting at the target.

While the soldiers were loading the bombs, there was a sound of howling ghosts and wolves on the wall. This round of shooting immediately caused eight soldiers to fall down on the wall. Three of them were shot in the head and died on the spot. The blood flowed out along the bullet holes.

Two more were hit in the ribs, and they couldn't help crying while lying on the ground. The remaining three were shot in the arm, the bullet penetrated into the body, and the pain made them cry.

The other soldiers were like seeing a ghost. They were confused at first, and then frightened. This seemed too weird to them. Even if the people of Pengzhou were sturdy, these soldiers would tremble in their hearts. This method of death is really true. It's too scary.

Compared with these soldiers, it was Mi Wenyi and Mi Kuang who were more afraid. The soldiers' horror made them pale, and Mi Wenyi knew that this round of firearms was aimed at him and Mi Kuang.

"Mi Changshi, what's going on?" Mi Kuang's whole body couldn't stop trembling. Unlike Mi Wenyi who had seen muskets, Mi Kuang had been in Pengzhou for many years. Although he had heard about them, he had never seen muskets and artillery.

There is no time for Mi Wenyi to explain to Mi Kuang now. He hid directly behind the battlements and did not dare to show himself. He shouted, "Squat down, do you want to die? These are the guns of the Qingzhou Army. Damn, why are these guns shot? It will be so far, King Qi must have deceived us."

Mi Kuang's face turned paler, and Pengzhou City had been at ease for too long. On weekdays, these soldiers also suppressed some common people's rebellions, so they never faced a real war.

The tragic appearance of the soldiers shocked the other soldiers as well.

"What about this? Are we hiding here all the time?" Mi Kuang said.

Just as the two were talking, there was another gunshot, and nine more soldiers were shot. For a while, the soldiers on the front of the city were completely in terror. They all followed Mi Wenyi and Mi Kuang and squatted down.

It's just that what really scares them has just begun.

"Boom boom boom..." After the second round of shooting, the Qingzhou battleship faded its harmless camouflage. At this time, square lids were lifted up on the side of the battleship, and these lids flooded to cover the muzzle.

When these wooden lids were lifted, a black muzzle stretched out and aimed at the Pengzhou Navy who was constantly approaching.

When the Pengzhou Navy entered the battleship only 50 meters away, the intense fire and white smoke obscured the warship, and the projectile shot straight towards the Pengzhou Navy warship in the river.

"Boom boom boom..."

The cannonball penetrated the hull of the warship, mixed with wood fragments, and flew towards the boatman in the cabin. Suddenly, continuous screams sounded in the cabin.

The boatman who was shaking the oars had never seen such a scene before, so scared that he dropped the oars and fled to the deck screaming.

It's just that the tragic situation above the battleship is worse than below. At this time, there are mutilated bodies everywhere on the battleship's deck. Soldiers clutching their broken legs and screaming uncontrollably with broken arms, blood flowed freely on the deck.

The soldiers who had not reacted to the roaring sound were shrouded in death. Most of the soldiers were frightened. There was only one thought in their hearts-what the **** was this.

But they were not allowed to think, and soon there was another explosion. This time, a black cloud rushed towards them like lightning in their eyes. It was not until they were close that they could see that these were small round beads.

And these black round beads became the last sight in the eyes of many soldiers, and their bodies were subsequently penetrated.

The river screamed again and again, and the river water was quickly stained with blood. The frightened soldiers jumped into the river and escaped. At this moment, they no longer have the will to fight.

General Lu, who led the Pengzhou Navy, was even more unbearable. When the front warship was swarmed by the wood chips bombarded by artillery shells, they retreated in a panic.

The soldiers on the wall were even more frightened by the scene before them. This time they finally understood what a musket is and what a cannon is.

"How to fight this battle?"

A general's eyes are full of despair. Even if his soldiers are brave, but the soldiers who can't reach the opponent are killed, it is enough to make them lose the will to fight.

"The soldiers of Pengzhou City listen. His Royal Highness Qi has ordered that no one who surrenders will be killed. Moreover, once the army enters the city, the people in the city can be given fertile land like the people of Qingzhou. Soldiers, do you still want to be treated by these Pengzhou people? Do the rich and powerful families in the city bully and oppress?"

Suddenly, a loud voice was raised from the river surface onto the city wall.

When Mi Wenyi and Mi Kuang heard the words, there was a flash of hatred in their eyes, and now they knew more about what would happen if Pengzhou City fell.

"As for the children of the big clan in the city, as long as you are willing to return, Your Highness will forgive you for not dying. As long as you dissolve the trilogy and return the land of the people, Your Highness is kind and allows you to continue living in the city. Otherwise, after the city is broken, all the children of the rich will be killed amnesty."

Lu Fei's voice sounded again.

After these two sentences ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ some soldiers from poor people's homes looked at each other. Qingzhou's affairs have been spread here. Although the local tycoons slandered King Qi, they understood that King Qi treated the people. They are very kind.

Unlike these poor soldiers, the sons of the Hao family are in a complicated mood, and now they are caught in a dilemma.

"Don't believe their nonsense. King Qi is a despicable villain. They are deceiving you. If Pengzhou City is lost, you will lose your land, wives, and soldiers. Today we must block the enemy's attack."

Mi Wenyi shouted loudly.

Mi Kuang shouted at the same time: "Today, all the soldiers will follow me to the death. If anyone dares to take a step back, I will kill him."

The soldiers fell silent when they heard the voices of the two of them. They exchanged their eyes and didn't know what they were thinking.

Above the river, Lu Fei loudly announced Xiao Ming's policy towards Pengzhou City and then ordered the warship to stop on the north bank of Bianshui. His purpose was to defeat the Pengzhou Navy, which is now easy to do.

The rest is to wait for Luo Xin and Luo Hong to lead most of them to formally attack the city.
